Peg broke due to UST having a huge bank run, with people selling the UST for other stablecoins (hence pushing down the price of UST). Now for the peg to be restored to $1, Luna Foundation Guard had to liquidate a crap ton of bitcoin on their reserves just to push UST back to $1, further pushing down the downward pressure on BTC.

And it is still far from 1 $, it is now 0.90

I believe those kinds of events are healthy for the ecosystem. It exposed to everyone that some parts of the DeFi ecosystem are not really safe.

I hope similar projects will be wiped out soon. Anyone holding Luna after this tragedy should be really rethinking the fundamentals of such investment.
In the middle term, bitcoin won't be affected by this event.

And when we thought that Luna putting money in Bitcoin was a good idea, it really back fire on them and has affected the price of BTC.

I recalled one thread about it and now it come to realization the Terra Luna Foundation has made a big mistake on trying to hedge it's billions to BTC.

But yeah, I agree, this might be a short term effect, but since we are in a bearish cycle now, it is just magnified on the massive effect to Bitcoin market.
